Abstract

The durable press fit bond, for the end of a pipe in a fitting, is formed through cold shaping. A seal is laid in a groove (5) of the fitting (2). When the end of the pipe (1) is pushed over the fitting, the leakage point (D) is closed by the cold pressing action, which distorts the end of the pipe at the seal (6) against the inner surface (9) of the pipe end. The leakage point is developed by a tool at the installation site.
